Huge love to Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery for sponsoring today’s post on Organization – Back to school organization.
Getting organized can sometimes seem like a major task especially when you have a thousand other things to do. I decided to organize a section in my office for a command center. I believe every house needs one of these. You will be surprised at how relaxed you will feel knowing everything has a spot and you don’t have to search for hours looking for that letter or note from school. Since I have three office spaces in my house things can sometimes get crazy. This main command center is working perfectly so far and I am excited to share with you how I accomplished this.
My best friend Martha Stewart sent me some great things from her home office line from Staples. I had so much fun getting organized and her products makes everything look crisp and clean, which is a huge plus in my book.

This is how my desk looks right now.

Below is what it looked like just just hours before I got my package in the mail from Martha!
Amazeballs, right!
Don’t judge.
The one thing I was super excited to get was this binder that you can fill with ton’s of great things. The yearly calendar has to be my favorite thing because without that I would not know which way is up and down. Check out some of the cool things you can buy separately for the binder.
*Zipper Pouch
*Small-Format Paper Dividers
*Project Planner Filler Paper
If you are not a binder fan you can get this super chic disk bound notebook (yes I wrote binders in the picture, I’m human y’all and I made ton’s of mistakes). You can get the same items that go in the binder for this disc bound notebook also. You can also buy larger disks to enlarge your notebook.
*Discbound Expansion Discs, 12/Pack
* Discbound 2013 Calendar Insert
*Discbound Notebook Dividers, Classic, 8-Tab Set
* Discbound Planner Pockets, 3/Pack
Now we are getting into the pretty stuff! I love a good calendar but desk accessories are my favorite. All these are stack and fit and they all fit together. You can make a tier out of them or use them individually as single containers. Check them all out here. There is so much to choose from.
I can’t do without a Task Pad. This particular one goes in the disc bound notebook but I like it loose on my desk. I put a magnet on the back so I can stick it on the fridge, which is great for a grocery list.
There is one thing that makes my family happy and that is when pens, pencils and highlighters are organized and not mixed together. These products really saved us.
All of the stack and fit look like this.
This is a great example of how they fit together.
I love the Stack+Fit™ Shagreen Inboxes like the one above. It serves as a base and you can stack ton’s of things above it like these trays.
It’s always good to have a nice candle to bring zen to your room. I love my little moss rock. I got this the last time I was on the show with Martha. I know it’s dead but it serves a purpose believe it or not. Just remember to put things in your space that bring happiness and make you smile. You want to create a space that makes everyone happy.
I saved my favorite for the end. I love my cork board and the fantastic shape it comes in. Just one more thing to tie all of your goodies together.
I will be doing a post soon on my studio but I wanted to share with you a tip on how I store my paint bottles and glitter. This is nice and makes it easy to grab that perfect shade quickly.
Something that could also help you stay organized is this book. I can’t wait to get my entire house organized like the pictures in here.
Just remember you don’t have to change a whole room to get this. These products will change your whole perspective of getting organized.
Big ole glittery hugs from my command center to yours,

Happy Monday! I am so excited to share some denim crafts with you today! As a Michael’s Maker I was challenged by my friends at Michael’s to do something magical with their new line of denim products – Make Market. If you have not seen this line yet, now is the time! I can remember the day’s I would beg my friends for their old jeans so I could rip and tear them up. I used to always use denim and let me tell you this makes things NICE!
& and chicken. If you don’t have a chicken or fresh eggs you can still make this basket and use it for decoration or fill it with goodies and give to someone as a gift. 
I simply love this ribbon. I would be a little happier if they made some with adhesive backing! I mean then I could stick them on practically everything!
Step 1: Open a pack of ribbon and start on a corner, weaving the ribbon over and under the openings. It’s truly simple but time consuming.
Once you get your first stripe start with your next one. You will start seeing the stripes appear and then…you will start to fall in love!
I bought this fluffy blue jean ribbon to add to the front of the basket. I love that it’s a clip. I can take it on and off and use it for other projects!
To make the chalkboard -n- denim planter: purchase a chalkboard pot or paint one and grab some denim -n- lace ribbon. Cut a piece and tie around the top of pot! Grab your chalk marker and write your message on the pot!
Voila! It’s all done. You now have your magical denim basket to gather your eggs or goodies in. You know… This would make a GREAT EASTER BASKET.
As part of the Michael’s Makers team I will be creating crafty challenges each month. The challenge this month was to choose a product from the raw bar and and I chose the burlap stretched canvas to create a Burlap Canvas Display.
